OBJECTIVE: Residents and workers in long-term care facilities (LTCF) for older adults share the same space, and residents are more susceptible to COVID-19 complications. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies as an indication of previous infection of both residents and workers in LTCFs, as well as associated factors. METHODS: This epidemiological survey was conducted in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, a medium-sized city. Stratified sampling was performed, with data collected on demographics, health, LTCF protective measures, activities of daily living, and cognition. A serological test was carried out on all selected individuals. RESULTS: The mean resident and worker ages were 80.62 (SD, 9.66) and 37.41 (SD, 12.42) years, respectively. The serological test was positive in 13.33% of the residents, who had 2.91 (SD, 1.28) chronic diseases and used 5.65 (SD, 2.79) medications. Dementia screening was negative in only 11.1%, and only 20% were independent in activities of daily living. The serological test results were positive in 25.93% of the workers, although SARS-CoV-2 had been previously detected in only 6.9%. The LTCF did not perform systematic screening of worker respiratory symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: There was a higher seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among LTCF workers than residents. Systematic screening of worker symptoms before each shift was not regularly performed. The high prevalence of cognitive changes among LTCF residents can impede adherence to personal protection measures.

Geriatric Pain

Abstract Fear of falling is common in older adults and it is associated with multiple factors such as gait and balance issues, difficulties in activities of daily living, visual impairment, and frailty. Unfortunately, fear of falls increases the risk of falls as opposed to protect from falls. Pain can impair mobility, affects activities of daily living, and may also be associated with fear of falling but no studies have evaluated this potential association. The objectives of this study were to evaluate if there was an association between pain and fear of falling in older adults living in long-term care facilities. One hundred and eight older adults living in long-term care facilities participated in the study. The mean age was 79±7 years, and 65% of the participants were women. The participants completed the Geriatric Pain Measure (GPM) questionnaire for multidimensional pain assessment (scores range from 0 to 42), and the Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I) for fear of falling assessment (scores range from 16 to 64). The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression. Forty-five percent of the participants had chronic pain (≥3 months) and 18% had acute pain (<3 months). Pain scores were 29±31. Pain was associated with an increase of 3 to 7 points (out of 64 max) in the FES-I. The prevalence of pain in long-term care residents was high, and pain was associated with increased fear of falling.

Background and Objective. Transition from long-term care to the community can have positive effects on residents’ health and quality of life and promote the feelings of happiness, safety, and independence. The aim of this study was to examine residents’ resources for potential transition to the community after residing in long-term care facilities. Material and Methods. The study was conducted in 8 long-term care institutions for older persons of Kaunas county. The study population comprised 252 residents. The items contained in the interRAI Long-Term Care Facility assessment instrument were used to evaluate a consistent positive outlook, social activities, and discharge potential. Cognitive impairment was measured using the Cognitive Performance Scale. Activities of daily living were measured using the Activities of Daily Living Hierarchy Scale. Results. More than 10% of the residents exhibited no cognitive impairment. One-third of the residents preferred to transition back to the community from their long-term care facility. Twothirds expressed that they had familiar surroundings, which could be assumed to increase their feeling of safety at home. Social activities prevalent among residents included taking care of plants and walking outdoors. About 40% of the residents were physically independent in the activities of daily living. In spite of these resources, no residents were involved in a discharge process due to the lack of established nursing and social care services and transitional care plans. Conclusions. With well-organized community services, some residents in long-term care facilities may have enough resources to live in the community.
